Hopefully this will help when deciding on a PTP linen, whenever they are back in stock. The Wren looks to be Flax with tan mottling. Legacy is more yellow, Heartland even more. One piece of Legacy I received a while ago is my favorite with less yellow background, more neutral and leaning to Flax. Whatever!! You all know I have a phobia about color. Seeing completed projects compared to the actual linen is misleading because they don't seem to be as dark after stitching.
The Vellum that I showed in the prior comparison is the lightest ordered. If I knew where it was, I would have included it. But you saw it already so it's all good. One more that I need to try - Faun. Almost ordered Fawn by mistake (Lakeside?) but the PTP is spelled with a U. Haven't found a piece yet and looks very contrasted in photos, but you can't believe what you see because every piece is different.
Have a great weekend!!

How much linen do you have? Probably like my wool...too much...lol!
Thank you for sharing a picture of all of them together, Marly! I have some Faun ordered, but I haven't gotten it yet. I am sending you my hot weather!
How do you stitch on such high count linen? I am having loads of trouble lately with 18 count.They are all very pretty by the way.
Thanks for that information. I have no LNS so this really helps!
You're making me wanna order more linen....and that is not a good thing.
Ordering linen online really is frustrating (and expensive)... I just received some yesterday that was named "Baby Sheep" and the pic looked mottled cream. Well...in person it actually looks like a creamsicle? Should be called "Naked Sheep"....lol! I'll probably wind up using it for a spring floral type design... Thanks for taking the time to post your linen comparisons....looks like vellum is the winner.... hopefully they won't change the dye lot... ugh!
Thank you for sharing the linens. I no longer have a LNS, to go see linens in person. I think the only color I might not have qualms about ordering on line is white or antique white.
I agree Marly, every piece is different, I ordered a piece then ordered the same color and count way different.
Thank-you for sharing with us, it can be a challenge ordering online.
